© 2022, The Society for Experimental Mechanics.The copper-aluminium (Cu-Al-Zn-Ni) based structures show shape memory behaviours that are low cost engineering applications, such as actuators, valves, etc., regarding to Ni-Ti-Al structures. These alloys have a useful transformation temperature that can be modified to lie between −100 and 100 °C (sometimes ±50 °C). For low cost production, a combined method through powder metallurgy processes (sinter-Forging) without using the grain size control additives. In the frame of the common research project, production of the scrap thin sheet copper based composites reinforced with scrap commercially pure aluminium (AA1050) and zinc produced through the combined method, sinter-forging process will be discussed for a tough structure.
